Why do you have to keep your Galgo Español on a leash?

Simply to avoid accidents. Indeed, an Galgo Español can quickly be out of control when it crosses a female in horn, when it is exposed to food, to an odor… It can quickly escape its owner. Without being held, the risk will be that he will attack another animal or even a child. Impulsively, it could even cross a street or an avenue and cause a traffic accident or be run over….

Thus, keeping your Galgo Español on a leash is simply a precautionary principle.

For a stronger and more powerful Galgo Español, a shorter (50 cm) and wider lead is recommended.
